Bloomfield Hills — The International Academy is used to getting attention with its ranking as one of the top public high schools in America since 2003.

But unfortunately, schools don’t embrace it enough, and as a result, the younger generation is failing to appreciate wildlife, and the various habitats of the animals on earth. Focusing strongly on teaching children about nature...

Maybe this isn’t surprising, though, given a recent survey found that many state school teachers say much of their work is meaningless – reduced to being merely about capturing metrics rather than real learning.

It says the annual cost of providing accommodation and care for these young asylum seekers has now risen to £152m.

Thinking back on my K-12 and college years, I remember hearing my parents say “keep your grades up.” If it weren’t for good grades, I might not be where I am, on the second half of a purpose-filled career in the field of education. If you are a K-12 or college student looking to maintain or increase your GPA, you probably have a ton of questions, and hopefully, I will answer some of them in this article.
